MARITIME STUDIESHOME PAGE Summer Reading Assignment for Maritime Studies
The Cat’s Table by Michael Ondaatje
The Maritime journey focuses on how the sea is an agent of change in characters, attitudes and ideas.
Map the change in our protagonist, collect passages as you read that reflect the ocean as the agent for change. Use sticky notes to mark these passages as you will be asked to write an essay stating your opinion of how and why he changed, and you will need this supporting evidence to prove to me that you read the book.
Please send me your email address as we would like to obtain your membership at the Mystic Seaport over the summer. I will need $20 for this, too. Mr. Marelli will give you a summer assignment that requires you to visit the Seaport over the summer. Check in with each other to car pool.
